Vermicast

What is Vermicast?

Vermicast (worm castings) is the material deposited by the earthworms after the material passes through the digestive tract of the worm (worm manure). Worms, also known as “vermin” break down organic matter by consuming said matter after consumption they leave behind “castings” that are an excellent soil enhancer and bioactive high quality fertilizer for organic farming. This is a perfect alternative to using chemical fertilizers, and has been proven in field tests.

Vermicompost (worm compost) contains some earthworm castings, it also contains droppings from the multitude of other creatures that call your compost its home, plus bits of organic matter in various stages of decomposition.

Kahariam’s vermicast is composed of 100% worm castings. It is the ideal organic fertilizer for your plant and crop farming needs. Our Vermicast is one of the few organic fertilizers approved for organic rice & vegetable production. This product is both FPA registered and OCCP certified.
